Conditions of Sale 


1. Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or 
which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment 
such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 


2. The Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more 
bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 


3. Identification 'and Deposit by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given im- 
mediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, 
amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 
: A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may 
e required. 
If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at the option 
of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 


4. Risk after Purchase. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter neither 
the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any damage to any article occasioned by 
theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 


5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total 
amount due for all purchases at the sale. 


6. Receipted Bills. Goods will be delivered only on presentation of a receipted bill. A receipted bill 
presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to 
the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has 
been made, the buyer should immediately notify the Association of such loss. 


7. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for 
in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may be 
turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the 
time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other 
charges will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or 
storage will be upon the purchaser. ; 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of the 
sale, the Associacion reserves the right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in 
respect to any or all of lots so purchased to cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private 
sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any losses and 
costs sustained in so doing. 


8. Shipping. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no 
wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current 
and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on 
its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 


9. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavors therein 
and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made 
either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or 
condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or im- 
perfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘‘as is’’ and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will give con- 
sideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued 
and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, 
who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 


10. Records. The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to be considered final 
and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and seller as the value against which all 
claims for losses or damage shall lie. 


11. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- 

mitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. 

Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a 

purchase of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been 

present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from 

os date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot in any manner differs from its catalogue 
escription. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to leave no room for 
misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated 
to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the 
bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Associa- 
tion, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 


Priced Catalogues. Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the 
Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary information from 
the records of the Association. 

No person other than the auctioneer or an official of the Association is authorized to arrange conditions 
of sale different in any way from those herein contained.

FIRST EDITION AND FIRST ISSUE OF ONE OF THE PREMIER COLOR-PLATE SPORTING 
BOOKS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. A very tall copy; the illustrated title-page 
has the Ackermann imprint dated “‘ July 1842,’’ wide margin below. 

With the four colored plates mounted, in forepart of volume, this being the 
distinguishing mark of the First Issur. The plausible theory is that the publisher, 
in his haste to issue the work, did not wait for the first plates to be printed on the regular 
plate paper, but mounted them in these earliest copies issued. Such copies are of 
extreme rarity, and in them the plates are of a superior clearness and brilliancy. ALL

(JAMES FENIMORE). An exceedingly interesting 3pp. 4to, Autograph Letter, written 
in his small hand (the signature, unfortunately, missing) to his life-long friend, Hon. 
Charles Wilkes, reading in part: 

‘As for Miss Wright (I thought her sister was dead in America), she was here a short 
lime since, and may be so still. I have not seen Lafayette since I got your letter, nor in- 
deed any one else who could tell me. I saw her once, about three months ago, at one of 
Lafayette’s receptions. She looked haggard and much changed for the worse, I thought, 
but I never knew her personally. She excited much attention on account of her appear- 
ance, and the women avoided her. I should have spoken to her had I known her previously, 
but I did not like to seek an introduction, under the circumstances, as it would have been 
disrespectful to Mrs. Cooper, who was present. I do not think she repeated her visit 
though I doubt not Lafayette sees her in private. It is my opinion that the old man has 
been a good deal hunted this winter by sundry elderly ladies, who would fain attach 
the stride of their charms to his great name, but his tastes are as juvenile as at twenty. 
That Lafayette has been outmanoeuvred by the party which surrounds the King, I take 
to be beyond a doubt. . . . There is strong discontent among all the military men in 
France. . . . My next neighbor is the Duc de Vilmy, the son of the Maréchal, and he 
who made the famous charge at Marengo. . . . I have a book in press, to be called 
‘‘The Bravo,” I think, but I am not decided. The scene ts Venice, which seized my fancy 
last spring in a manner not to be spoken of. . . . While troubling you with my several 
affairs, I may as well add here, that I have sold two new books to Messrs. Carey & Lea for 
$09,000. They will be instructed to pay you as usual, and the whole will come within the 
next twelve months, I trust. . . . If you should come to Europe and live three years, 
you would go back with the best possible opinion not only of our institutions, but of the 
men who are in power. Both are so much better than what one sees here, that 1t puts an 
American into perfect good humor with himself.”’ 

All of the letters are exceptionally fine and interesting. The Cooper letter, a very 
small portion of which is quoted above, is one of the most interesting Cooper letters 
in existence.

thousand names more than the largest English Dictionary of Painters and En- 
gravers (Bryan’s), and the introduction into the same work of the names of Sculp-

every existing biographical work on this subject. 

The preface brings out the following facts: ‘‘The scope of the present work, in 
which is contained the History of the Arts of Design related in the lives of the princi- 
pal Painters, Sculptors, Architects, and Engravers of all nations, is novel; and no 
pains have been spared that could tend to assure its accuracy. . . . The list of 
authorities will show the extent of the ground it is sought to occupy. The collection 
of monograms and artists’ devices is the most copious ever inserted in any biogra- 
phical work. The Tables have been constructed with great care, and will be found to 
contain much important information never before displayed and made accessible 
in that form.”’ 

Amongst the ExTRA-ILLUSTRATIONS are: ‘‘ Jeune Femme du Temps de la Restor- 
ation,’’ etching after John Jackson; ‘‘Joueur de Violon,’”’ etching after Teniers; 
‘““Georgiana, Duchesse de Devonshire et sa Fille, Lady Georgiana Cavendish,”

are identical with those found in this volume excepting that ‘“‘Lugdun”’ has the “‘en”’ 
at the end, and the word ‘“‘ Viventium”’ in the motto is here correcily spelled, that in 
the reproduction being spelled ‘‘ Viveitium.”

knighted by him in the field, much to the displeasure of Queen Elizabeth.

manuscript appears to commence with Chapter II. These points, however, are only 


idiosyncrasies of this famous western writer, and this very desirable manuscript is 
QUITE COMPLETE.

ONE OF THE FINEST CONTEMPORARY REPORTS OF PITT’S SPEECH

BY DAVID HUME 


284. HumE (Davip—English Historian and Philosopher). Autograph Letter 
Signed, 6pp. 4to, Lisle Street, 27 February 1766. To Lord Herford, Lord 
Lieutenant of Ireland.

AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT LETTER RELATIVE TO THE REPEAL OF THE STAMP ACT 
AND PIiTT’s FAMOUS SPEECH THEREON. It will be observed that throughout the letter 
Hume spells Pitt’s name with one ‘‘t.’’ The letter reads in part,—‘‘. . . The first 
day after re-assembling (January 14th 1766) the Parliament open’d by a very extraor- 
dinary Speech of Mr. Pit’s. Besides asserting that England had no right of taxing her 
Colonies, and that it was unconstitutional to take money from free-born subjects without 
their consent, he ran into many other topics, which much astonish’d his Audience. He 
seem’d even to treat the Parliament with contempt; he us’d many severe expressions against 
the last Ministry; he employed some unkind ones towards the present. . . . But when 
Gentlemen were retir’d to their private Societies, they began to compare thetr sentiments 
and to find they had rather been ill us’d by the Orator. The effects of this general indigna- 
tion appear’d two days after, when Sir Fletcher Norton attack'd him with great severity, 


and even threatened to move that he shou’d be sent to the Tower. . . . Meanwhile, the 
Question, which he had started was brought on in the House of Peers: It was disputed, 
whether the English Parliament had a right to tax the Colonies. . . . It seems happy 


that the Stamp Act is repealed. For if the motion for that repeal had been rejected, and if 
the ministry had thereupon been chang’d, the Americans, seeing all their Friends turn’d 
out merely from Friendship to them, would have been reduced to despair, and would 
probably have made an obstinate resistance, attended with the most fatal consequences.

[No. 284. Hume (DAvip)—Continued] 


The frightful idea they have been taught to entertain of the old Ministry would have made 
them expect nothing but blood and slaughter and the most severe executions. It is remark- 
able, that Lord Chesterfield, who had never gone to the House of late years and had not 
even taken the Oaths during this Reign, qualifyd himself a few days ago in order to vote 
for the Repeal. . . .”

VERY DESIRABLE EARLY ILLUMINATED BOOK OF HOURS WITH WELL-EXECUTED 
MINIATURES OF MARVELLOUS COLORING AND DELICATE Ivy-LEAF BORDER DESIGNS. 
Probably executed in the latter part of the Fourteenth Century or the beginning of 
the Fifteenth Century, in the South of France—Languedoc or Provence—as the name 
of St. Roche appears prominently in the Calendar and there is a Special Prayer 
offered to him. As is often the case in these earlier manuscripts, it is probable that the 
miniatures and the special initial letters and borders appended thereto were executed 
by a different hand from the balance of the illumination, as they show more expert 
workmanship and much more elaborate design than the other initials and borders. 

Inscription at the head of the first leaf of the Calendar reads,—‘‘ Conventus duaten- 
sis ord: Erem: S. P. Angutlini, fr Prosper, 1669.”

damp-stained, but on the whole the volume is in very good preservation. The bor- 
ders and illuminated initials are beautifully executed and the pen-work on the colored 
initials is of exceptionally fine execution. 

Obituary notes dated 1477, 1484, and 1487, of three members of the ‘“‘de Rupe”’ 
family, have been added in the Calendar by later hands, and a coat-of-arms, azure, 
un chevron d'or, appears in both of the full borders, probably the Arms of the same 
family.

STAINS OR SPOTS. ONE OF THE Most BEAUTIFUL ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS 
WHIcH HAS OCCURRED IN A PUBLIC SALE IN RECENT YEARS. 

The miniatures in this volume are of exquisite conception and execution and the 
strong preponderance of the vivid blue both in the miniatures and in the borders and 
the most unusual feature of the rubrications and paragraph marks being in the same 
blue in place of red is a notable feature of the manuscript. The large miniatures are 
within semi-architectural frames with arched tops showing the influence of the work 
in Camaieu which was just beginning to make its appearance at this time. 

The LARGE MINIATURES represent the following subjects: (1) St. John, The Evan- 
gelist; (2) The Virgin and Child; (3) The Annunciation; (4) The Visitation; (5) The 
Manger in Bethlehem; (6) The Shepherds (Gloria in Excelsis) ; (7) The Magi; (8) The 
Presentation; (9) The Flight into Egypt; (10) The Crowning of the Virgin; (11) The 
Crucifixion; (12) The Pentecost; (13) David and Bathsheba; (14) Job and His 
Friends; (15) The Virgin and Child; (16) The Trinity. The SMALL MINIATURES in 
the text are the usual pictures of the saints and martyrs, the evangelists, etc. 

THE DECORATIONS IN THE CALENDAR ARE 
EXCEPTIONALLY ELABORATE AND INTERESTING. ee 
Each month occupies one leaf; the verso of each 
contains a border in colors on gold ground with 
Two FINE MINIATURES in the same, one of which 
—on the side—represents the sign of the Zodiac 
for that month, the other—at the foot—depicts 
various occupations or pastimes incident to the 
month, such as a feast for January, pruning for 
March, reaping, harvesting, wine making, etc. 
On the verso of each leaf is a lateral border similar 
to those painted on the other pages of the vol- 
ume. The initial letters are of unusually fine 
detail and there is a more free use of burnished 
gold in the dates and entries in the Calendar 
than is usual in works of this kind. 

On the blank fly-leaves at the beginning and 
end (14 leaves in all), also on the blank margins 
of the last two pages, and several blank versos 
through the volume, there are written additional 
prayers, some in Latin and some in French, in 
several different hands apparently contemporary 
with the manuscript. 

The restorer of the binding has wrongly lettered 
the work as a ‘‘ Missal.”’ 

Tuis Is, WITHOUT DOUBT, ONE oF THE Most 
GORGEOUSLY ILLUMINATED VOLUMES OFFERED 
IN PUBLIC SALE IN RECENT YEARS, AND IN THE 
FINEST IMAGINABLE STATE OF PRESERVATION. 

Note: A double-page from this Manuscript 
is reproduced on the face of the folder announcing [Calendar for Aoust]

semt-Gothic) in black and red on 181 leaves of fine vellum, 13% by 95% inches, 
2 columns of 39 lines each to the page. With 2 BEAUTIFUL HISTORIATED 
INITIAL LETTERS, the first containing miniature of the Virgin and Child with 
the Bov St. John, charmingly painted and illuminated in colors heightened 
with gold, within a delicate full border of a modified ivy-leaf and floral design, 
including an eliborate band through the center and with an tnner border of 
leaf gold upon which 1s painted an wy-leaf design in red and blue, The outline 
of the large inital letter, the first word of the text and the words “‘ ARMA Mon- 
ASTERII DE CAMBERONE”’ 1m the lower part of the border, all in BURNISHED 
GOLD, the former over a red and blue ground; in the lower border appears a 
coat-of-arms, probably that of the Abbot for the Monastery of Chambéry. The 
second large initial letter contains a miniature of St. Bernard blessing a monk, 
this letter also within a full border, the miniature, letter and border being 
similarly illuminated to the first above described. Capitals throughout in blue 
or red on delicate pen-work ground extended into elaborate marginal decora- 
tions; paragraph marks in red and blue; red-ruled lines and margins. Folio, 
full midnight blue morocco, extra, with the crest of Charles Stuart, Baron 
Stuart de Rothesay, stamped in gilt in center of front cover, gilt lettered 
back and gilt line initial borders, gilt edges, By CLARK AND BEDFORD. 
[Clairvaux, 1485] 

A BENEDICTINE MANUSCRIPT OF GREAT BEAUTY, AND ALSO OF GREAT IMPORTANCE 
As TO THE TEXT, being an early copy of Turrecremata’s work, of which ONLY Two 
PRINTED EDITIONS APPEARED BEFORE 1500. (See HAIN, Nos. 15734-15735.) 

The manuscript itself is of the FINEST POSSIBLE EXECUTION THROUGHOUT, the 
lettering being of exceptional evenness and evidently written with the utmost care 
by a master hand. As the colophon states, it was written at the famous BENEDICTINE 
MONASTERY OF CLARE VALLE for (or by?) the Abbot Peter and completed in the 
year 1485. From the lettering on the first page it would appear that the work was 
executed for presentation to the Monastery of Camberone (Chambéry) as the arms 
and inscription thereon, appear to be contemporaneous with the border itself. The 
volume is in what may well be termed IMMACULATE CONDITION throughout, with 
scarcely a time stain and with the illuminations bright and untarnished. TRULY A 
MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN OF FIFTEENTH CENTURY WORK. 


From the collection of Charles Stuart, Baron Stuart de Rothesay (1779-1849) with 
his crest stamped on the front cover. Later in the collection of Frederick Perkins.

The name “ Roussellet,’’ is written several times on fly-leaf and inside of back cover,

stains, and the colors and gold in the miniatures unfaded and untarnished. The text 
is, as usual, written on a different paper from the margins and inlaid in these gold 
sprinkled margins with the consummate skill of the Persian bookmaker. _ ; 

The scenes depicted in the miniatures are of great interest, showing Historical or 
Traditional Happenings in Hunting, Hawking and other Sporting scenes, interior 
scenes of the Court and Personal Life, Battle Scenes, Gardening, Coursing, Juggling. 
Polo-Playing, etc.

THE Most IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT OF THE KELMSCOTT PRESS, AND A MASTER- 
PIECE OF TYPOGRAPHY. Years before its publication, Mr. Morris had mentally pro- 
jected an edition of Chaucer, which he hoped to produce in black letter type of special 
design. An announcement was circulated stating that there were to be 60 designs by 
Sir E. Burne-Jones and that the issue would be limited to 325 copies, but at a later 
date, another circular was issued stating that the number of illustrations would be 
increased and the limitation extended to 425 copies. Subscribers had the option of 
withdrawing their orders, but no one did so and the extra 100 copies were subscribed 
for immediately.

and Book VIII, line 10 is here numbered 0. This error does not seem to be mentioned 
by any of the collators. 

This volume shows the variations which are usually attributed to the EARLIEST 
ISSUES through Book IV excepting in the spelling, those in the balance of the volume 
being corrected as in the Second Edition, which would seem to indicate that correc- 
tions or reprints were made by the printer to suit his convenience at the moment, 
or that the sheets were gathered from various printings, as there are seldom two copies 
which agree absolutely throughout as to the variations.

THE WALTER T. WALLACE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL EDITION, COMPLETE with the 
‘“De Sarmacia’’ and rare Blank Leaves, reserved for posterity to continue the his- 
tory to the present time. LARGE, FINE Copy, measuring 16% by 11% inches. 

This work is one of the most remarkable books issued in the Fifteenth Century, 
because of the number and beauty of the woodcuts which it contains. There are 
more than two thousand of them, so astonishingly well done that they have been 
reprinted and copied over and over again. The book was a great favorite with all the 
higher classes of the people of the Sixteenth Century, and was used as a picture book 
for the enjoyment of readers. On that account it is not often that tall and clean 
copies appear for sale. The woodcuts are brilliant, including the portrait of Papess 
Joan which has not been maltreated in any way. 

On the verso of p. 290 is a brief account of the Portuguese voyage of discovery 
along the coast of Africa in 1483 (1484), under the direction of Diego Lam and 
Martin Beham, of Nuremberg, which has been used as a basis for the unwarranted 
theory that the expedition reached America.

In further description of this remarkable manuscript, the following, signed by 
Robert Riviére and Son, is laid in and gives full details of this beautiful item: 

““Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.’ An illuminated Manuscript, bound in wine- 
colour Levant Morocco, with blue grey Levant Morocco doublures and olive green 
silk fly leaves. 

“The Idea in the decoration of this book is to represent on the front cover, the 
one side of Omar Khayyam’s philosophy, and on the other cover, the reverse. 

‘“The main feature in the design of the front cover is a sunk panel, in whichisa 
beautifully modelled representation of an apple tree, round which is coiled a snake. 
Environed by the roots of the tree, is a human skull, modelled in calf. The remain- 
ing part of the cover is ornamented by an outer border of delicate gold filigree 
work, and an inner panel of oriental design, inlaid in blue. The background of this 
panel, and also of the sunk panel, is very finely spangled with gold dots. 

‘“The decoration of the under cover, is symbolical of the joy and passion of life. 
The centre panel is filled with a representation of a peacock with outspread wing 
and tail (a most gorgeous arrangement of greens, blues, browns and gold),standing 
on a spray of passion flowers, which is modelled and inlaid in naturalistic colours. 

“The doublure of the front cover has a border of Eastern design, enclosed by 
black bands. In the four angles formed by these bands, and enclosed by the brown 
band of the central Persian panel. is a design composed of small green leaves and 
red florettes. The centre panel is an arrangement of green inlaid bands surround- 
ing shapes of Persian character, filled with conventional poppies and oriental orna- 
mentation. Radiating from this are inlaid gold stars and fine pointillé rays. 

‘“The doublure of the under cover is similar to that of the front, but the sleep- 
giving poppy gives way to the exhilarating grape and the joyous butterfly. 

‘“The Manuscript, executed entirely by Mary Gertrude Cameron, is particu- 
larly remarkable for the wonderful detail throughout. 

‘“On looking at the Title, attention is at once drawn to two beautiful little mini- 
atures, each representing Eastern Landscapes. The wonderful delicacy of the work 
is worthy of note, and even under a strong glass, the delicacy is maintained. The 
same applies to the decorative border, each little tendril and scroll being abso- 
lutely free from any roughness. 

‘‘The intention of the Artist was to introduce into each page, as far as possible 
something suggestive of the lines appearing thereon, and attention is drawn to the

: re is thenigyhtficl Soak to 


first page, in which the line ‘The Sultan’s turret in a noose of Light’ is illustrated 
in the miniature. 
“On the next page, the first line ‘And as the 

Cock Crew,’ at the end of which the cock is intro- 

duced in wonderful detail, each feather being 
« almost decipherable.’’ [See Reproduction of this 
|. page herewith.] 
Ind. the Cock crew, GM ‘On the next page there are four distinct refer- 
tome wutes te PelOre aug ences to the letterpress, namely, the rose, vines, 
Se garden and nightingale, and the following pages 
sh the lines ‘And Lo! the bird is on the Wing’ and 
while we have To stay. ‘And look—a thousand Blossoms with the Day,’ 
A ndvonce Departed tay are illustrated by two miniatures, the detail in each 
reflarsr no mre2e. : being remarkable. 

‘‘The first line of Quatrain X on the next page is 
illustrated by an exquisite little miniature, in 
which palms are introduced.”’ [And so on through 
the entire manuscript.] 

[There] ‘‘are many beautiful illuminated ini- 
tials which are well worth careful study, and spe- 
cial attention is drawn to the blending of the col- 
ours and the infinite care bestowed on the minute 
detail. Quatrain XLVIII, the first line suggested 
to the Artist the little landscape with river, palms 
and roses shown in the miniature. 

““After careful study, one is inclined to doubt 
that such work is done by hand, and yet such is 
the case. : 

“The last page will bear the scrutiny that all 
the others have borne, and attention is drawn to 
the initial letter full of careful detail, and the miniature illustrating the last 
well-known lines: ‘And in thy joyous Errand_reach the Spot, where I made one— 
turn down an empty Glass.’ 

‘*Many illuminated manuscripts have been handed from generation to generation 
since the 12th Century but it is doubtful if any have excelled the careful work, both 
in detail and design of this one. In the old manuscripts it was usual for the 
writing to be done by one, the illumination by another and the miniatures by a 
third party. In this manuscript the work is entirely carried out by one hand, and 
if only on that account, the manuscript is a remarkable one. 

‘*The work took 12 months to execute, and when not half finished the small de- 
tail was found to be so trying that it was almost given up, but thanks to the perse- 
vering spirit of the Artist, she continued and finished the work. [Signed] Robt. 
Riviére & Son.” 

This beautiful work is enclosed in a box-case of full straight-grain midnight blue 
morocco, padded and lined with rich French-gray velvet, brass locks.

EXCESSIVELY RARE IN SETS, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH FINE CONDITION. Tuis Is 
WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE FINEST SETS EVER ISSUED FOR PUBLIC SALE. 

The issue of these miniature volumes was a private fad on the part of the pub- 
lisher, William Pickering. He desired to produce a set of miniature classics to 
surpass all others in smallness of size, yet to retain a certain clearness of type which 
could be read without the aid of a reading glass. Without the effort to maintain 
clarity in print, the attempt would have been an absurdity. His success was so 
genuine, that up to the present time, they remain as in the day of their issue, the 
most charming small series extant, embracing the best works of the Greek, Latin, 
Italian, and English writers. The printing was done in silver type. In regard to the 
binding, it has an importance not generally known in the fact that it was upon these 
miniature volumes that cloth binding was first in use, which has now become uni- 
versal. 

This exceedingly interesting series is as follows: 

M. T. Ciceronis de Officiis de Senectute et de Amicitia. Portrait engraved by R. 

Grave. 1821 
Publius Virgilius Maro. Medallion porirait engraved by R. Grave. 1821

ing works, in which all but one hundred copies were consumed after the stereos 

had been destroyed.

great use made of it by the clergy.

AN ABSORBING AND MINUTE HISTORY OF THIS REMARKABLE WOMAN, WHO WAS 
SUCH A GREAT POLITICAL FORCE DURING THE REIGN OF LOUIS XV, who made and 
unmade ministers, selected ambassadors, appointed generals, conferred pensions, 
etc.; to her influence must be ascribed, in a great measure, the suppression of the 
Jesuits in France; it is to her that France is indebted for the world-famous manufac- 
tory of Sévres; while the establishment of the Ecole Militaire, which in the twenty- 
seven years of its existence gave to the country so many distinguished officers, 
Napoleon among the number, was mainly due to her efforts. 

EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED AND EXTENDED TO Two VOLUMES BY THE INSERTION OF

A LUXURIOUS AND ERUDITE WorK. IT IS NoT ONLY SUMPTUOUS INTERIORLY, 
ButT ITs SIMPLE BINDING IS A FINE SPECIMEN OF THE BIBLIOPEGIC ART. 

The exactitude of the translation is striking, although some corrections have 
been made on the original text, also some additions. As regards illustrations, the 
original French edition was overburdened with a few photogravures and a few 
colored reproductions of drawings that it seemed well to dispense with, and upon 
the editor taking the matter up with the publishers of the volume they assented to 
make good certain omissions in Monsieur Michel’s list of illustrations and include 
as photogravures or illustrations in the text, some further English Rembrandts of 
note and of high merit. In this present edition, therefore, with due thanks to the 
owners’ graciousness, there are reproductions of Lord Ilchester’s noble picture, 
‘““Rembrandt in a Yellow Gaberdine,’’ of the Glasgow Corporation’s picture of a 
““Man in Armour,” of the ‘‘ Hendrickje Stoffels’’ of the Scottish National Gallery, 
and of Mr. Samuel Joseph’s ‘‘Saskia,’’ also of a pen-and-ink drawing by Rembrandt 
which is another addition of the series of Rembrandt’s artistic dealings with the 
“Story. of Tobit.” 

Fresh blocks have been made of the ‘‘Lutma,”’ and of that delightful early etching 
of Rembrandt’s mother, which was so fittingly eulogised by Mr. Hammerton; the

small reproduction of the ‘‘Clément de Jonghe’’ has been supplemented by a repro- 
duction of the First State; Also, appearing here for the first time is a block from 
the wonderful boy-portrait which was once supposed to be Titus and then supposed 
to be a little Prince of Orange; also included is a plate of sketches on copper, which is 
of great rarity, and which undoubtedly contains one of Rembrandt’s portraits of 
himself, and is considered one of the very best of Rembrandt’s pieces. 

THE VOLUME IS HANDSOMELY EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED AND EXTENDED FROM Two 
TO FoUR VOLUMES BY THE INSERTION OF ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND ForRTY-FIVE 
PLATES, consisting mainly of etchings, tipped to Japan paper, also etchings on India

ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR BY REMINGTON—POSSIBLY UNPUBLISHED 


455. REMINGTON (FREDERIC). ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING, SIGNED IN 
FuLL,—“ Frederic Remington. Height, 1714; width, 16 inches. In a wide 
mat, and enclosed in an ivory colored frame and glazed. 

The watercolor portrays a mounted Cossack, armed with sword and gun, pacing 
along a country road. The rider’s face is set, his eyes straight before him. A hill 
rises in the background, and toward the right, just peeping above the incline, small 
country houses are visible. The drawing IS BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED IN COLOR AND 
DETAIL AND IS SIGNED WITH REMINGTON’S CLEAR FULL SIGNATURE. 

BELIEVED To BE UNPUBLISHED. Mr. Remington, well-known for his spirited 
western drawings, was also noted as a sculptor and author. This present drawing 
is of UNUSUAL INTEREST, As IT IS Not His USUAL CHOICE OF SUBJECT.—There 
are no Indians apparent, no Cowboys, nor any suggestion of the wide expanses of 
the plains, so familiar in his pictures. 

The picture was originally framed by the artist, in his favorite ivory colored 
frame and was lately the property of Horatio Harper.

THE RARE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF THE FOUR NUMBERS 


464. ROSSETTI (DANTE GABRIEL). The Germ: Thoughts towards Nature in Poetry, 
Literature, and Art. With 4 etchings, by W. Holman Hunt, F. Madox Brown, 
J. Collinson and W. H. Deverell. 4 parts (ALL PUBLISHED), bound in one 
vol. 8vo, full polished calf, triple gilt fillet border on sides, gilt paneled 
back, gilt top, UNcuT, original wrappers and advertisements bound in, 
BY RIACH. London, 1850 


EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL ISSUE, complete in the four numbers with all the front 
and back wrappers bound in. It was published during the months of January, Feb- 
ruary, March and April, 1850, and consisted of original poems and stories, essays on 
Art and other subjects, the contributors being—the three Rossetti’s (Dante Ga- 
briel, William Michael, and Christina); Coventry Patmore, Ford Madox Brown, Bell 
Scott, Collinson and others. The etching in each number illustrated the first article 
for that month. 

With the March number (the third of the series) the name was changed to ‘Art 
and Poetry,’ the remainder of the title unchanged. With this March number was 
issued a slip containing two printings of the altered title, with directions that they 
were to be used to paste over the other title on the first two numbers. The wrappers in 
this copy do not have the slips pasted over them, and the slips are not present. The 
fourth and last number, for April (usually printed May), has had the erroneous 
month cut out of the wrappers, which is a point of the first issue. 

Laid in, are two proofs of an etching by W. Holman Hunt, one on Japan paper, the 
other on Holland: paper.

VERY DESIRABLE COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLORS 
BY ROWLANDSON 


466. ROWLANDSON (THOMAS). A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF ELEVEN FINE 
WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS, EACH SIGNED:—‘‘ T. Rowlandson.” The drawings 
are delicately colored, each being inlaid in a heavy mat, with a wash border 
around each. Neatly tipped on guards; hand-lettered title in red and black. 
Bound into an oblong small folio volume, full green crushed levant morocco, 
double gilt fillet borders on sides, enclosing decorative panels of an artistic 
design in gilt, interspersed with inlays of rose levant, gilt lettering on 
obverse cover, richly gilt paneled back with inlays, inner levant borders, 
with gilt fillets, gilt edges, BY RIVIERE. 


Following is a description of each drawing in detail: 

(1) This drawing depicts a young lady, sitting astride a galloping white horse. 
One hand is holding the bridle, the other is employed with two large baskets. A 
young man astride a brown horse, is trying to keep pace with the damsel. In the 
background may be seen other riders—probably huntsmen. The following note 
IN THE AUTOGRAPH OF ROWLANDSON appears at the foot and side of the drawing: 
‘““T propose to devote part of my labours to the service of the fair sex in composing a set 
of easy rules for riding gracefully between a pair of panniers and supporting a butter 
basket in the most elegant style. A thorough possession of these attractions may draw 
the attention of the fox-hunting squires and possibly raise the lady possessing them to 
the dignity of spouse to his worship, the Justice.” 

(2) This drawing is titled, ‘‘Rag Fair,’ IN THE AUTOGRAPH OF THE ARTIST. 
The stalls, the vendors and the bargaining purchasers are all characteristically 
depicted by Rowlandson. 

(3) This watercolor is untitled. It shows three respectable English country 
persons coming from Cornhill—a dame of rather rotund proportions, holding the 
arms of two gentlemen, one on either side. They in turn, are leaning upon their 
canes, perhaps to aid them in supporting the weight of their worthy companion. 

(4) Apparently an English reception of the higher order. Toward the left is a 
party of ladies and gentlemen, deeply engrossed in a game of cards. In the left 
center are a number of people watching two children dancing, also watching the 
antics of a little dog. To the right, a butler is serving tea and at the extreme right 
is a musical party seated at and around the piano. 

(5) This is titled By THE ARTIST, ‘‘ Walising.’’ Two couples are here depicted in 
the height of a dreamy waltz, one gallant with_his arm encircling the waist of his 
fair partner. 

(6) This, THE ARTIST TITLES, ‘‘ Bandy Leg Walk.”’ On the promenade are figures 
from various walks of life, some fat, some thin, some elegant, some otherwise. A lone 
bulldog is also in the picture. 

(7) Untitled. Depicts two fair damsels, one engaged in feeding a flock of geese. 

(8) Entitled by Rowlandson, ‘Count Uglonino.”’ It depicts three figures, two

apparently lifeless, the third leaning with his elbows and hands on the body of one 
of the others, with a most agonized expression on his countenance. The grim 
figure of Death is above gazing down at the trio. 

(9) Another untitled painting, showing a coach drawing away at a rapid pace. 
In the foreground is a woman of rather rotund proportions, carrying a basket, an 
umbrella and some parcels. She is looking angrily after the coach. A man is also 
waving his hat after the retreating vehicle and a dog is barking furiously. Another 
figure is seen running in the direction the coach has taken. A flock of unconcerned 
birds are seen in the foreground, searching for worms. 

(10) In this drawing, Rowlandson depicts a piper, with bagpipes under his arm. 
A young boy and girl are seen on the extreme right, the latter helping to direct 
some dogs who are dancing to the music of the piper. A young woman is holding 
another dog dressed as an infant, waving a whip meanwhile in her free hand, 
apparently striving to instruct the canine dancers, who are colorfully dressed. 

(11) This drawing depicts two men seated at a table in a tavern, eating and 
drinking of the victuals and beer. A third apparently forgetting his hunger, is 
trying to make advances toward the serving girl, who is strongly rejecting his 
uncalled-for attentions.

FINE Copy OF THE VERY RARE FIRST COMPLETE EDITION OF THE HUNGARIAN 
AND HIGHLAND BROADSWORD EXERCISES, WITH THE LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS. The 
rarity of this volume is accounted for by the fact that many copies have been broken 
up and the plates framed and sold separately as examples of Rowlandson’s fine work, 
and for their military value. 

There is no list of plates, which bear technical military titles in panels on the bor- 
ders. Most of them are signed by Rowlandson, in the body of the plate, and all have 
the publisher’s name below, with the date ‘‘Septr. 1, 1798,’’ with the exception of 
the title which is dated as above, the seventh and eighth plates which have no im- 
print, and the seventeenth from which the date is omitted. The title bears the words 
“Aquatinta by I. Hill.”’ 

THE PLATES ARE ALL BRILLIANT IMPRESSIONS IN CoLors, and show the military 
exercises and movements of cavalry. The single figure in the foreground, illustrating 
sword exercises, is relieved and animated by the introduction in the background of 
the various skirmishes, and battle scenes, so that the plates lose all sense of formality.

JUSTICE DANIEL’S ‘SOPINION”? ON THE DRED SCOTT CASE 
—IMPORTANT HISTORICAL DOCUMENT 


483. Scott (DRED). OrIGINAL Manuscript of:—‘‘ The Opinion of Justice Peter 
V. Daniel of the United States Supreme Court in the Famous Dred Scott 
Case. March 7, 1857. Manuscript of about TEN THouSAND WorbDs, writ- 
ten in ink on one side of 42 small folio sheets, two of which have been cut 
down. An occasional small note appears on the verso of these sheets; 
Hand-lettered title-page. Bound into a small folio volume, full blue ultra- 
marine levant morocco, double gilt fillets on sides, gilt lettering on obverse 
cover and back, inner gilt borders. 

This manuscript is of historic importance and embodies the Opinion of Justice 
Peter V. Daniel of the United States Supreme Court in the famous Dred Scott case. 

An action had been begun by Dred Scott, a negro, in the circuit court of Missouri, 
for his freedom and that of his children. His claim was that he had been removed, 
in 1834, to Illinois, then a free State by his master, and afterwards taken into terri- 
tory north of the Compromise line; that in 1838 only had he been taken back into 
Missouri and sold again to his present master. To this Sanford, his master, replied 
that Scott was not a citizen of Missouri and could not bring an action; and also that 
he and his children were Sanford’s slaves. The lower courts had differed, and the 
case came before the full bench. The case was twice argued with care. The opinion 
of the Court was prepared by Judge Taney, the Chief Justice. It dismissed the case 
on Sanford’s first reply, namely, that Dred Scott was not a citizen of Missouri— 
Negroes could not be citizens, was the Court’s virtual decision.

SPLENDID COPY OF THE SECOND FoLio. The title has the ‘“‘J’’ in “Impression,” 
but does not include the words ‘‘at his Shop’”’ in the imprint. This variation of title- 
page is not recorded by Pollard, he assigning this form of imprint to the corrected 
title-page with the “I’’ in ‘‘Impression.’’ The collation of text agrees with that given 
by Mr. Pollard with the usual misnumbering of pages, etc., with the additional mis- 
take in signatures of 7 3 fori 2: The word ‘‘Actors’’ on the verso of leaf z 2 which is 
sometimes misprinted ‘‘Actosr’’ is here correctly printed. 

The leaf of Ben Jonson’s verse ‘‘To the Reader”’ is supplied in Facsimile and the 
first few leaves are restored at inner margin, but aside from this the volume is in

HIS AUTOGRAPH ANNOTATIONS

full old calf, calf and boards (bindings worn, one cover loose). 

London, Cambridge and Oxford, 1594-1774 


THIS COLLECTION FORMERLY BELONGED TO GEORGE TOLLET, THE SHAKESPEAREAN 
CRITIC, and it has lain perdue since his death in 1779. Many of the volumes contain 
his Autograph Signature, and practically all, in addition to annotations and notes, 
are scored or marked with his pen. Tollet was born in 1725 and died in 1779, and was 
one of the earliest of Shakespeare’s commentators. He contributed some Notes to 
Johnson and Steevens’ edition of Shakespeare, 1773. He also furnished to the same 
edition of Shakespeare the engraving of a curious window of painted-glass which 
represents the ancient English Morris-dancers.

merly of Greys-Inn. 8vo, unbound. London, 1749 
First EpITION. A TOTALLY UNcuT Copy. With notes on fly-leaf in the auto-

of text has been supplied from another copy and tipped in.

LARGE AND FINE COPY OF THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST ISSUE OF THE FIRST 
EDITION. The first volume contains the blank spaces for the Welsh words on p. 332, 
and has the first issue of the commendatory and other sonnets at pages 601-606. In 
addition there have been ADDED THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE FouR UNNUMBERED 
LEAVES, containing the second issue of these sonnets. Spenser decided immediately 
on publication, to suppress two of the sonnets, those ‘‘To Lady Carew”’ and “To all 
the gratious and beautifull Ladies in the Court,’’ replacing them with others to the 
Countess of Pembroke (Sir Philip Sidney’s sister), Lord Burleigh, Sir Francis Wal- 
singham, etc. THESE Four LEAVES ARE FOUND IN BuT FEW COPIES. 

There is little doubt that the volumes were printed for Ponsonby by Richard 
Field, Shakespeare’s townsman, to whom the dramatist probably came on his arrival 
in London, and who also printed Venus and Adonis and Lucrece for him between the 
printing of the first and second volumes of the Faerie Queene. Field’s device is on the 
title-page of the second volume. 

The present copy is in very good condition, the only blemishes being skilful restora- 
tions to the top and inner blank margins of title and a few other leaves, and a slight 
imperfection in the paper on p. 351 of the second volume. 

With bookplate of Dudley C. Majoribanks.

I, XIII, XVIII (8-page Waterlow ad only) and the slips in Parts XIII, XIV and 
XIX-XX. 

The wrappers are in SPLENDID STATE OF PRESERVATION throughout with only 
a few minor restorations to backbone and all are in First ISSUE STATE with the 
exception possibly of Part XVIII which lacks the date. The date is also wanting on 
Part XVI in which it agrees with the Boston Transcript collation. No brackets 
appear after the number on Parts XIV and XV, Part XVI has the bracket after the 
number but none before the price, and Parts XVII, XVIII and XIX-XX have no 
brackets, agreeing with Van Duzer’s collation in these variations. 

The advertisements on the wrappers are the correct FIRST STATE THROUGHOUT 
including the proper form for the contents, the correct advertisements on the back 
covers of Parts III, IV, and V, and on the inside of backs of Parts IX and X, agree- 
ing in this with the Frederick Corder copy sold in our rooms in 1922. F 

The advertisements are all present with the exception of those mentioned above 
including the 8 pages in Part XVI on INDIA TINTED PAPER, 

The TExtT Is THE First ISSUE throughout with the initial heading in rustic type, 
the unabridged text in Chapter 6, the Steyne woodcut on page 336, and ‘‘ Mr. Pitt’’ 
on page 453. The ORIGINAL TISSUE IS PRESENT between the plates in ten of the 
parts. 

Although the present copy is not quite as perfect as the Frederick Corder copy 
It Has SEVERAL OF THE SPECIAL POINTS OF THE FIRST ISSUE WHICH ARE NOT 
FOUND IN THE AUSTIN COPY AND SHOULD RANK CLOSE TO THE TOP AMONGST THE 
So-CALLED FINEST COPIES OF ‘‘ VANITY FAIR”’ IN PARTS WHICH ARE OBTAINABLE 
AT THE PRESENT Day. IT CAN SURELY BE TERMED A SPLENDID COPY.

JUDGING FROM THE EXTREME INTEREST AND IMPORTANCE OF ITS CONTENTS 
[WASHINGTON REFERRING TO HIMSELF AS THE INSTRUMENT OF ALMIGHTY GOD IN

REMARKABLE WASHINGTON DOCUMENTS EVER OFFERED FOR PUBLIC SALE IT 
Is THE ELOQUENT ADDRESS TO THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYL- 
VANIA ON RECEIVING THEIR FELICITATIONS ON HIS BECOMING FIRST PRESIDENT 
OF THE UNITED STATES. 

The importance of the document will be manifest upon a perusal of the manuscript 
here PRINTED IN FULL: 


‘“*To the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva. 
“Gentlemen: 

‘It affords me the most sensible pleasure to be informed that my accession to the 
Chief Magistracy of the United States has met the approbation of my fellow citizens 
in general, and particularly that of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. 

“Your recapitulation of the deliverance, in which Almighty God hath been pleased, 
in some sort, to make use of me as his instrument, ought only to awaken my deepest 
gratitude for his mercies in the time past, and an humble reliance on them for the time 
to come. 

‘‘ Feeling how greatly I shall stand in need of the patriotic assistance of every good 
Citizen of America, the confidence they continue to express in the rectitude of my 
dispositions, will always be, as it ever has been, an unfailing source of consolation to 
me, in every hour of difficulty or distress. While the whole course of my past conduct 
will be a better security for my future transactions, than any verbal assurances I can 
give, I will only say that I should find myself singularly happy in contributing to 
realize the glorious work, which your partiality for me has been indulgent enough to 
anticipate, of establishing Justice, insuring Tranquility, promoting the general 
welfares, and insuring the blessings of Liberty & Independence to the good people of 
our native Country, and their latest posterity. 

‘“‘T intreat you to be persuaded, Gentlemen, that, although it was with the utmost 
difficulty I could prevail upon myself to enter again on the stage of Public Life, yet, 
since I have done it, the unequivocal encouragement of support, given by the most 
respectable citizens and magistrates, will tend very much to remove my embarrass- 
ments, and, I hope, to open the way for a prosperous Administration, 


[Signed] Go. Washington.”’
